In order to utilize the Tire Chain Maintenance functionality, tires and chains must exist in the parts table. Once the tire/chain exists in the parts table, additional information about the tire/chain part number may be stored via the Tire Chain Maintenance function. For example, a lookup by tire size may be performed in Cataloging. If that tire size information was previously set up in Tire Chain Maintenance, then the additional information also displays.
